The area is as hospitable as it's going to get. You see, the shoe is on the other foot now and you guys don't like it - so you want government to do something about it... Moreover, minimum wage workers rarely work 40 hours a week at one job: they will have two or more, AND a lot of Temp agencies are staffing businesses with minimum wage workers, and those "temps", even though they work 40 hours a week get no benefits...
So the reality is, you're fear mongering.
